GAOLS BILL. Sir G. GREY moved the second reading of Gaols Bill, the object of which was to carry out a portion of the recom mendations of the Lords' committee, which reported on the subject of prison discipline last year. Amongst those re commendations were these—that the discipline, diet, and labour established in prisons should in future be uniform, and that the separate system should be enforced as far as was practicable. Some misapprehension, he observed, pre. vailed with regard to the fourth clause. It was believed that that clause would give extraordinary powers to the Home Secretary, and enable him to appoint Roman Catho lic chaplains in gaols against the wish of the county and local magistracy. He denied that the clause would have such an effect; but if it were thought by the house that it would, he should be ready to omit it from the bill. Its real object was to empower the Home Secretary to amend the prison rules at any period of the year, instead of in the month of September only, as at present, Mr ADDER LEY was of opinion that no legislation to amend the present law relating to gaols could be satisfac tory that did not include some definition of hard labour and a schedule of rules for gaols, and which did not provide for all gaols being gradually adapted to the separate system and for a uniform and classifi, d treatment of all prisoners. After the statement of the Home Secretary, that he had no objection to withdraw the fourth clause, he would not op pose the bill in its present stage. Mr NEWDEGATE moved, as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day three months, on the ground that it violated the principle of local self-govern ment, and failed to provide any adequate security or re sponsibility to guard its application, and render it an in strument effective for good. The honourable gentleman admitted that it was desirable that a measure for the regu lation of gaols should pass, but he contended that the defi nition of the rules should not be left with the Home•ofhce, but should be laid down and enacted by Parliament itself, or the Home Secretary might, on his own responsibi lity, appoint Roman Catholic chaplains in prisons without consulting the justices, who would then be left to incur the odium of levying a tax for the expenditure. Mr BARitOW seconded the amendment, resting his opposition to the measure mainly upon its centralising ten dency. Sir J. PAK INGTON approved of the bill as a necessary one, and thought the right hon. gentleman had acted rightly in consenting to withdraw the fourth clause. Mr MAGUIRE commented on the speech of Mr Newde gate, and argued that the Roman Catholic prisoners had as much right to the ministrations of the priests of their reli gion as the Protestant prisoners Lad to theirs. The debate was continued by Mr WHALLEY and Mr WALTER. Mr MITFORD agreed that some legislation was neces• sary, and was therefore prepared to ascent to the second reading of the bill. Mr HIBBERT was glad Sir G. Grey had intimated his intention to omit the fourth clause. He should be sorry, however, if another clause which gave the unwarrantable power to the Home Secretary of removing prisoners from certain local gaols and placing them in county gaols were retained. Mr S. ESTCOURT supported the bill, and, referring to the objectionable fourth clause, said it did not confer any power upon the Home Secretary that he did not already possess. Sir G. GREY, in reply, obs rved that whilst willing to strike out the clause he did so without admitting that there was the slightest foundation for tho apprehension enter tained by Mr. Newdegato. On a division the Lumbers were— For the amendment Against it Majority The bill was then read a second time. COLLECTION OF TAXES BILL. On the order for resuming the adjourned debate on the motion for the third reading of the Collection of Taxes Bill, Sir J. TROLLOPEI offered various objections to the bill, which, he thought, was utterly uncalled for, and which, he observed, though permissive, was only a prelude to a compulsory measure, and he moved to defer the third reading for three months. The amendment was seconded by Mr PACKE. Mr Cox and Mr S. Booth opposed the bill, which was supported by Mr Ayrton. Mr HORSF ALL, though he had voted for the second reading of this bill, said he should vote against the third reading, on the ground of its excepting the metropolis from its operation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied to objections, and explained the reasons for excepting the metropolis from the operation of the bill, which did not apply to other large towns, reiterating the arguments he had urged in support of the measure in its earlier stages. Sir S. NOR CHCOTE objected to the bill that, though called permissive, the decision was to be made by the Land Tax Comtnissioners, who were not elected by the taxpayers, whose opinions were not, therefore, tested upon the ques tion. He thought that the house, representing the Ica.- payers, should not throw the decision upon the Commis stoners. I stoners. Mr Lecke, Mr Lewis, and Mr Newdegate continued the discussion amid much interruption, The house then divided — For the third reading Against it Majority --4 The bill was therefore lost. The result was received with cheers from the Opposition benches. The Railway Construction, Facilities Bill passed through committee, RAILWAY TRAVELLING (IRELAND) BILL. Sir C. O'LOGHLEN moved the second reading of the Railway Travelling (Ireland) Bill, the objects of which were to deprive Irish railway companies of the power of shutting out whole districts of country from railway com munication on Sundays, and enacting that every railway company in Ireland should be compelled to run one train at least on Sundays each way at such hours as might be approved by the Board of Trade; also to confer certain rights upon third-class passengers. Mr BLAKE opposed the bill on the ground that there was no Sunday traffic in Ireland to justify the house in putting the companies to such an expense. He proposed as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day three months. The amendment was seconded by Lord NAAS, who said that already the smaller railways in Ireland were working at a loss, and that if this bill passed it would have the effect of increasing that loss. Such legislation was novel and un fair; no great public good would be accomplished, whilst much evil would be inflicted. Major GAVIN and Mr O'REILLY supported the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was a question for the house whether, considering the na ture of the powers conferred by the act of 1854, it was ad visable to impose this additional burden upon the com panies.

ROLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Knox—l shall remand the prisoner till Saturday and I am sorry such a thing has occurred. COMMITTAL WITHOUT A INE.—SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A FEMALE.—AmeIia Bass, a young woman living in Ogle-street, was charged with violently assaulting Bur wood Plant, a workman in the employ of Mr Short, wheel wright, Ogle-mews. The complainant said that on the previous afternoon the prisoner and ano her female cam e into the workshop of his employer and attacked his master and a lad. He went to their assistance, wlin the prisoner took up a piece of wood, and flung it at him, striking him in the ye, e and inflict ing a ghastly wound. Ile had given the prisoner no pro • vocation. Mr Short said that about two Months ago he gave a man the prisoner lived with into custody for stealing some lead, and ever since then the prisoner and her brother had threatened his wife, and he was fearful they would inflict some injury either to his person or property. Yesterday afternoon they picked a quarrel with his lad, and then came into his workshop and threw all sorts of things at him and his lad—mallets, pieces of wood, and even wheels were taken up by them. He went fora policeman, and on his return found his man had been wounded and taken to the hospital. A lad named Sinclait, in Mr Short's employ, said the prisoner and another female yesterday afternoon threw some gravel in his face and then a stone, and on his going into his master's shop for protection they threw things at them, and the pt ironer threw a piece of wood at Plant. Mr Knox said it was evident there was ill blood because Mr Short had done his duty in prosecuting a man who had robbed him. The prisoner would be committed for two months, and she might think herself fortunate she was not at the Central Criminal Court. The prisoner said, "Oh, I can do that on my head," as she was leaving the dock. MARYLEBONE. A FRACAS WITH ti OLUNTEERS.—Jobn Mullin, aged 21, pianoforte maker, was charged with assaulting Sergeant James Tiffin, of the 19th Middlesex Volunteer Corps. Captain Shaen, of the firm of Shaen and Roscoe, solicitors, Bedford-row, appeared to prosecute, and Air Pain defended, Sergeant Tiffin said he was a commercial traveller and a managing clerk. In company of a brother sergeant and a private of the same corps, he was returning home from battalion drill. He was in the centre of the three and they were walking in the road. They were in uniform and had their rifles with them. As they Were on the canal bridge at Camden-town, the prisoner and two of hie, companions made a lunge towards them. Private Webb seeing this made a rapid move to the front, in consequence of which he (Tiffin) received the full force of the push, and he put his left hand to save himself, He took no notice of what had occurred, when, from some thing that was said to the prisoner, he followed Tiffin and struck at him with his fist in his lace. Prisoner then got his left arm round prosecutor's neck, and wiih his right hand punched him severely about the head, neck, and shoulders. He was so much punched and knocked about that ne could scarcely raise his arm. Mr D'Eyncourt—How often was you struck ? Tiffin—At least 20 times. He managed to get away from the prisoner, when he sprang upon his brother sergeant, and wrested his rifle from him, which, however, was again wrested from him by a civilian. He (Tiffin) went away, when the prisoner again came after him and attacked and how he got away he could not tell, as he was so ex hausted. In reply to the magistrate, witness Kid he did not either strike or speak to the prisoner. The prisoner and his com panions ran against them purposely. The prisoner was not sober. Cross-examined—When prisoner pushed against him he did not raise his rifio to strike him with the butt end. They did not push against the prisoner and his friends. In his opinion they came against them purposely, thinking that they were food for fun. Richard Webb, manufacturing jeweller, also a volunteer, corroborated TilEa's statement, and added, that by the ad vice of the crowd they left their rifles at an undertakers' and went as far as the Rad Cap after the prisoner, and gave him into custody. Weston, 171 S, said he took the prisoner into custoctj f. He and his companions wer e th e worse for drink. For the defence, Mr Pain called Francis Lynch, pianoforte maker, 'filo said they were coming down the road as the tb:.,25 riflemen were coming up. He would not say that %.* volunteers pushed against them, but ha did not ' 4 efuli that they pushed the volun prisoner ruche', ;Von him to prevent it. After the scrim , his rifle to strik e a butt end blow, and i ; ffia bv p e u r t Pthey went into the Red Cap, where m t e e a r g s o . 7 1: they ilad some ale. He did not assist the prisoner, be cause the crowd had closed around them. By Mr D'Eyn coutt—When Tiefin's musket was taken from him he ran away, but was followed by the prisoner, who struck him. :Neither th e prisoner not himself were as sober as they were now. William Anderson, another pianoforte-maker, was called, and his evidence, in many points, contradicted that of the last witness. Mr D'Eyncourt—l am under the impression that the °u true account of es what occurr e d h as been given by the pro secutor. Besid, were i n liqu or , so that it is impro• bable that you should be able to recollect much of it. Whether the sight of a rifleman incites you to acts of wan tonness, I don't know, hut I do believe that you lunged against them. Some men hive a disposition to play a jest on this large body. The pro secutor has been very much ill-used by you and your companions, who were all in quite clear, th at you were not satisfied with liquor, and it's you who seems to have been the principal. d O e n fe e n t d h i n in g y gi o s urself, but after prosecutor had gone you fol lowed him, and again attacked him. You see volunteers labour under a very g re at disadv antage, f or they must k ee p possession of their rifle s un d er any circumstances, and in whatever way they are attak ced, and they are strictly forbidden to use them unless under legitimate circum stances. I don't Shaen has said, that there is a t endency to insult volun teers.)

THE UNREFORMED REFORIII ATOIty._..EIIen Mansell, aged 18, a servant girl, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stealing £9 worth of postage-st am p s , th e p ro - No. 1, Brunswick - place. Blackw a ll -cross, Poplar. t p i e e r n t e y r, of nt Mr , Frederick George Kelly, a books e ll er an d s t a - Mr Stoddart, solicitor, prosecuted ; Mr Marsh, solicitor, defended the prisoner.

A bout two months ago he missed a sheet of postag.-stamps, value £l, from a drawer in his bed-room. That drawer was always kept locked.

Mr Stoddart said it was right he should inform the ma gistrate that the prisoner had been convicted before, and had been in a reformatory three years. Sae had been out of the reformatory nine months, and had b een in two situations since, keeping the first only three months. A letter from the prisoner's sister, dwelling at No. 16, Brand street, Blandford-square, was found in the prisoner's box. It acknowledged the receipt of a parcel of Postage stamps, which hed been sold, and advised the prisoner to burn the letter, which she had not done. Mr Marsh subnaltte4 the letter was not evidence of any ,hing. Mr Partridge--I only receive this for my guidance, not as evidence. If the pritoner has been iu custody before and convicted, I shall not dispose of the case summarily. Mr Stoddart—lt is a question whether the sister ought not to be charged as a receiver. The following letter was put in by Mr Stoddart. It was rrom the matron of the Exeter Reformatory, and directed `.O the prisoner's first mistress : Girl's Reformatory, Exeter. " Madarae,—l had your letter yesterday, I believe that ISTABBING A CONSTABLE —John O'Brien, a tall, rough fellow, from the neighbourhood of Drury-lane, was charged before Mr Knox, with being drunk and begging, and also with stabbing Police -constable Wm. Cane. 35 C. Wm. Cane, 35 C, said—This morning about one o'clock I saw the prisoner in St. James's -street, and watched him, and observed him stop two gentlemen and be of them. The prisoner did not receive anything from the gentlemen, aid then walked away and stopped another gentleman, who could not get rid of him. The gentleman seemed very frightened, and said, " Const.thle, will you get rid of this ruffian? he has been begging of me, and it is of nightly occurrence." The gentleman said ho did not wish to charge the prisoner, but only wanted to get rid of him. I told the prisoner to go away, and as he would not I took him into custody, and he went very quietly till we got into York-street, St. James's, when be became very violent and struck me on the head. We closed together and both fell and while on the ground he kicked me on the head and tried to bite me about the body, making use of frightful ex pressions. I was five minutes before assistance came. On getting the prisoner to the statim I felt a pain in my side, and then found that on taking off my coat that I had been stabbed in the side. I afterwards went to St. George's Hospital and had the wound dressed. Prisoner—Did you not strike m e 1 Cane --Not till you got me down and struck ma, Inspector Wilson—l wish for a remand.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening, The LORD CHANCELLOR to ,k his see, on the woolsack at five o'clock. AMERICA, Lerd ST. LEONARDS presented a petition from Rackerford, praying that ',lie house would adopt measures to induce her MajeP4's Ministers to take steps for the restoration of peac e i n A mer i ca . The Earl o f . DERBY said he had heard that a gentleman named L,:..;,ey, a Montreal merchant, had arrived at Bos ton b,, a British passenger ship, and before he left the vessel, it was boarded, and be was seized by a United States' officer and imprisoned. There was no cause assigned for his arrest, and after a period of ten days he was liberated, on the 6th of June, without any cause assigned either for his imprisonment or liberation. He wished to know if any information on the subject had reached the noble earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; and, if so, whether reparation had been demanded by him, or voluntarily offered by the United States ? Earl RUSSELL said he did not find in any of Lord Lyons' despatches any reference to the case. Perhaps the next despatch might contain something; if it did not he would write to Lord Lyons on the subject, PRIVATE BUSINESS. _ _ The following bills were read a third time and passed : Newcastle-upon-Tyne Canal and North Staffordshire Rail way Companies, Garstang and Knot End Railway, Wallasey Improvement, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Gates head Gas, and Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway. ADMIRALTY WORKS AND LANDS BILL, This bill was read a third timo and passed. SUMMARY PROCEDURE (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill passed through committee. ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS REMUNERA. TION BILL, The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read • ing of this bill. It was, he thought, a very important measure, because the mode of remuneration at present in practice was thoroughly objectionable, and quite irrespec tive of the labour to be performed. The skilled practitioner was paid in precisely the same way as those of very small ability, and neither party were able to make contracts for certain work. Such an arrangement was very inconve nient, as it led to many evils, and he thought the time had now arrived when such a state of things should be put an end to. The system of copying and drawing deeds by folio led to verbiage, the very parent of litigation; and the object of the present bill was to enable a lawyer to make a contract with his client to any given work for a certain price, The present object was to eman cipate the lawyer—to emancipate the client, and the result would be, that business would be facilitated, and what was done would be accomplished much quicker than was now the practice, with fewer faults and with more certainty.

The prisoner mado no defence, and Mr Partridge com mitted her for trial. SECON I EDITION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day. In consequence of there not being 40 members pre sent till half-past twelve o'clock, the SPEAKER did not tike his seat till that hour. THIRD READINGS.

COURT OF CHANCERY (Ireland) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill, and clauses from 1 to 11• were agreed to without amendment. On clause 12 Mr. GEORGE objected to the manner in which the bill was being pressed forward. Mr. IffiITESIDE complained of the manner in which the bill was being forced throughout parliament, and said ho thought it of so great importance that a bill making such extensive alterations should be dealt with in a house so thinly attended (there being no more than 18 or 20 mem bers present.) He was in attendance previous to the Speaker taking the chair, and only left the door to obtain a book in the library, and on his return he found that a house had been made, and in about four minutes nine of the rziost important clauses had been smuggled through the house, He thought it highly unseemly in a Government, that narrowly escaped censure the other night by a majority of about half a dozen, and who met with a distinct defeat last night, to go on with this measure in such an objectionable manner, and at a day sitting. He again asked, was it at all seemly to press the bill forward under such circumstances. He should like to know if there was any mode by which the clauses already passed could be reconsidered. The CHAIRMAN (Mr Massey) said the only course open to the hon. gentleman was to move that he (the Chair man) report progress, and then on that being agreed to, to mote that the bill be referred to a select committee. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said he had been in the house since 12 o'clock, and if hon. mem bers having objection to the bill were not in attendance, he could not help it. He had had to wait for half an hour The committee then divided on the motion that the Chair man do leave the chair, when there appeared— Ayes .... Noes .. 41 Majority —1 The result was received with cheers and much laughter. The CHAIRMAN accordingly left the chair and it being past 4 o'clock the sitting of the house was suspended. The house resumed at 6 o'clock. THE DIVISION AT 4 O'CLOCK. Sir COLMAN O'LOUGHLEN told the Speaker, that by accident he voted with the " ayes " instead of the Noes. He was told he was bound to vote. He did so, and then reported the circumstance to the chairman. He (Sir Colman) thought his vote ought to be placed with the " noes." The SPEAKER said the hon. member having gone into the lobby with the Noes after the question had been put from the chair, he was bound to vote with the " Noes," therefore his vote must remain undisturbed.

It is said that Mr Simonds comes forward on the Conservative inte rest, asking for the support of that portion of the consti tuency as the future colleague of Mr Fleming. If that prograMme be the true ens, and if it be honestly acted upon, we may venture to predict the return of Mr Flem'ing and Mr Simonds : for the Conservative interest, if united, can undoubtedly return two representative for Winchester in the next Parliament,—Hampshire Advertiser. before he could proceed. There was no desire on his part to press this bill forward with undue haste, or without the fullest discussion, but it was absolutely necessary, in crder to dispose of the public business, to take this bill into con sideration at a morning sitting. Mr WHITESIDE then having formally made a motion to the first effect, went on to state his objections to many of the provisions of the bill. Sir R. PEEL rose to order, He thought it quite in competent for the right hon. gentleman to persevere in his extraordinary speech which had lasted already two hours and a half in the manner in which he was then proceeding His motion was for the chairman reporting trogress, and he was entering into the details of the bill, when The CHAIRMAN ruled that the hon, gentleman was quite in order. Mr WHITE SIDE then resumed his observations en the effects of the bill. Mr VAN CE thought it highly objectionable that a bill of such importance should be considered at a morning sitting, especially as many members interested in the matter were unavoidably absent. He put it to the right hon. gentleman the Attorney-General for Ireland whether the bill was one that ought to be considered in so thin a house. When the meet important clauses had been passed there were not more than eight or nine mem bers present. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL for IRELAND con sidered the tight hon, gentleman had abused the attention of the house by occupying it with matter as much relevant to the Great Mogul as to the provisions of the bill. He was amazed at many of the statements of the right hon. gentleman, and he could hardly reconcile himself to the belief that the hon. gentleman had any other object but to obstruct and defeat the bill. Instead of being opposed to the measure, the entire btir of Ireland approved of it. He was not to blame beoause the subject had not been fully discussed. He had been in his place at 12 o'clock, and although it was well known that the bill was to come on for discussion, there appeared to have beau an arrangement between some parties to prevent its consideration. If the bill was not carried it should not fall through by any want of exertion on his part, especially as he believed it was cal culated to benefit Ireland very largely. Mr B LITT objected to the bill being sent to a select com mittee.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT TO A BRIDEGROOM.—A sad occurrence—perhaps unprecedented in its nature— tended to mar the festivities accompanying the marriage of a youthful couple at St Dunstan's Church, Fleet-street, on Thursday last. The bridegroom—whose father is a mem ber of the corporation —was engaged shortly before the wedding in packing up his trunks, and preparing for the continental tour which he had arranged to take with his young wife, when his left arm suddenly snapped near the elbow. The consternation which this untoward accident occasioned among his own family and friends, who were preparing to attend the ceremony, may be well imagined; and when the sad intelligence was communicated to the parents of the bride the carriages were in waiting to convey the bridal party to the church. It was of course concluded that the ceremony must be postponed, but the bridegroom would not listen to the proposal, and the joint having been set by two medical men, he gallantly insisted upon fulfill ing his engagement, and actually arrived at St. Dunstan's Church within a few minutes of the appointed hour. The ceremony was conducted in a very impressive manner by the Rev. Mr Auriol, the rector, wha subsequently joined the numerous guests assembled at the suburban residence of the bride's father (one of his own churchwardens), and alluded to the misfortune of the morning in terms of kindly sympathy and encouragement. The uncle of the bride endeavoured to dispel the inevitable gloom by observing that the calamity had at least one consoling feature, for it gave them a practical example of the courage and devotion. of the young gentleman who was the hero of the occasion. They had heard of a certain champion of quite another sort of " ring," who had fought his American rival for one hour with a single arm, owing to a similar accident, and still carried the day ; but what was this to compare with the pluck of his young friend, who having broken his arm at 9 a.m., went up smiling to the altar at 11, and carried off his young and charming wife in triumph f We believe the bride, who was not at first informed of the full ex tent of the accident, exhibited a becoming fortitude under the trying circumstances of the day, and our readers will be glad to learn that owing to the satisfactory pro gress of the husband, the wedding trip is not likely to be long deferred. THE SIAMESE DITRIAII.--The fruit here is ex' (plaits, particularly the mango, the mangusteen, the pine-apple . , so fragr an t and melting in the mouth, and, what is superior to anything I ever imagined or tasted, the famous "durian" or " dourion," which justly merits the title of king of fruits. But to enjoy it thoroughly one must have tim e t o evercome the disgust at first inspired by its smell W hich le so strong that I could not stay in the same place with it. On first tasting it I thought it like the flesh of some animal in a state of putrefaction, but after four or five trials I found the aroma exquisite. The durian is about two-thirds the Bil 3 of a jacca, and like it is encased in a thick and prickly rind, which pro tects it from the teeth of squirrels and other nibblers; on opening it there are to be found ten cells, each containing a kernel larger than a date, and surrounded by a sort of white, or sometimes yellowish cream which is most delicious. By an odd freak of nature, ant only is there the first repug nance to it to overcome, b u t if you eat i t often, t h oug h with ever so great moderation, you find youself next day covered with blotchos, as if att ac k e d w i t h meas l es, so heating is W 1 nature. A durian pi c k e d i s never goo d, f or w hen fully ripe it falls of itself ; when cut open it must be eaten at once, as it quickly spoils but otherwise it will keep for three days. —.Mouhot's Travels in Indo-China.

ROW THE FEDERALS RECRUIT IN IRELAND...-. In the Irish Bankruptcy Court a few days ago some light was accidentally thrown on the sysfon of Federal recruit ing in Ireland. In the case of a bankrupt named Ellis an application was made for the assistance of the Court on behalf of a poor woman named Comyns, whose son had en closed to her a cheque for £lO, which he had received front the American Government for" emigrating" to that coun try. He is now a soldier in Grant's army, on his way to Richmond. She gave the cheque to the bankrupt to cash, but only received one-half the amount, the rest being lost in the estate. On the part of the bankrupt it was stated that the cheque is not due, and owing to the condition of affairs in America would probably be dishonoured,
